Fetaures: 1. Preloaded audio sounds Specially selected audio samples which help you relax and drift away to 2.

Apply a fade timer The fade timer will automatically adjust the volume by a defined number of minutes from the end of the set duration, which provides a gentle fade to 0 so you can drop off easily. In-App purchase package 1. Ability to add your own radio stations If you have a favourite radio station you like to listen to then you can add this to your list if the station supports streaming audio over the internet. 2. Additional pre loaded audio effects The application comes with 5 pre loaded audio sounds by default. Additional audio sounds are available as part of the in app purchase providing a greater choice for your listening. 3. Graphical visualisation effects Although this application is predominantly audio based, we thought it would be a nice touch to add visual affects to be easy on the eye as well as the ears. This will provide a selection of colours and shapes to choose from to give that unique visualisation effect.
